On the importance of edge over hybrid cloud Vivek Ahuja, Head-IT, IDEMIA says, “It is not very easy for an enterprise but it is easy for a startup, as it can be born in the cloud. But for the enterprise it is a game. For some government projects and some private banking projects it worked well. Whenever they want to ramp up, we can do that within minutes. If we had purchased the hardware in our data center we could have never maintained that business. Hybrid computing, and choosing where to use the cloud or not to use it is very important.
From my point of view, software defined networks are used when we look at security or lateral blocking of traffic or monitoring of it but if we look vertical my experience is not very nice so far. We have used software defined networks for regular traffic and as well as for vertical traffic also, with options from virtualization providers.”
